THE ATHEIST AND THE MARINE( God - this doesn't get any better)A United States Marine was attending some college courses betweenassignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of the courses had a professor who was a vowed atheist and amember of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked tothe ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want youto knock me off this platform. I'll give youexactly 15 minutes."The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minuteswent by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm stillwaiting." It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marinegot out of his Chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him;knocking him off the plat form. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The otherstudents were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.

The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at theMarine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did youdo that?" The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy todayprotecting America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to saystupid stuff and act like a ass. So, He sent me."
